CLUB VISIT: KAMIAKIN Kamiakin is very busy as the school year is in full swing! They’re completing several projects such as Soups for Souls and Bingo at Royal Columbian Retirement Home. They’re also completing projects in their clubs, like making “Happy Thanksgiving” cards for the retirement center. Upcoming projects include ushering for the Nutcracker, as well as assisting Kiwanis with a winter carnival! Kamiakin is doing a great job in their school and community, keep it up!
CLUB VISIT: HANFORD At about 230 paid members, Hanford is the largest club in our division. Attending their meeting was awesome, with so many spirited Key Clubbers! They have worked on several projects, including blood drives and tutoring. Their upcoming projects include helping with City of Richland’s Christmas carnival, Stuff the Bus, and child care. They utilized several incentives in their meeting, such as Key Clubber’s of the month and a drawing for a bag of goodies. Continue working hard, Hanford!
